Natural Monuments

Here is a series of articles about the National Parks within Argentine Patagonia. Discover their general features, history and the reasons that motivated their creation.

Patagonia shelters nine National Parks and three National Monuments.Â It is also the region that most concentrates these type of natural reservations within Argentina.
